Chapter 462 [Apprenticeship]

Zhu Xiaojiao nodded and said: "I have a lot of strength, and the ordinary kitchen knife is fluttering in my hand, and I feel very uncomfortable, so I specially found a blacksmith to build two." ”

Man Zaiyuan said: "Holding such two knives, you can still slash the double knives into a supernatural place, but I'm afraid there are few in the world." ”

Zhu Xiaojiao said with a smile: "It's the same if you're proficient, I grew up in the kitchen since I was a child, and I've been helping to chop meat and bread buns since I can remember, so I'm familiar with these processes." ”

Man Zaiyuan said: "Cooking is not only skillful, but talented, some people have been chefs all their lives, and they can't even reach the level of a chef, the reason is not because he is not diligent, but because of a lack of talent." ”

Zhu Xiaojiao thought that Man Zaiyuan was criticizing herself, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Man, my father often says that I am not flexible enough, and I also know that I have limited talents. ”

Man Zaiyuan smiled and said, "Limited talent? There is no one in this world who is a genius in all aspects, some mathematicians can overcome the world's problems, but they can't even do such a simple thing as buttoning, some girls are as beautiful as flowers, but they can't even get instant noodles, they specialize in art, and they have a succession of hearing the Tao, and there are very few geniuses in this world. I'm not sure if you're a culinary genius, but I'm sure you're not as talented as most people. ”

Zhu Xiaojiao blinked, wondering why this well-known culinary master at home and abroad would give him such a high evaluation.

Man Zaiyuan said: "I just had morning tea outside, several special pastries have made me full of praise, the taste is delicious, the shape is exquisite, I have rarely seen it in these years, it is the pastry you make that attracts me." ”

Zhu Xiaojiao heard him praise herself, and became more and more embarrassed: "Mr. Man has won the award." ”

Man Zaiyuan said: "I have been standing for a while just now, and when I saw your double knife slash, the knife technique has been perfected." I dare to assert that at your age, there are definitely only a handful of young people with solid basic skills like you. ”

Su Le's voice sounded behind him: "Senior sister, it's rare for Master Man to appreciate you like this, I think you should simply worship Master Man as your teacher!" This kid happened to come over to find Man Zaiyuan and heard their conversation just now.

Man Zaiyuan smiled and said: "Xiaojiao, this girl is good, I like it very much!" ”

Su Le just said casually just now, he also knew that a great master of the level of Man Zaiyuan was extremely harsh in picking apprentices, but he didn't expect Man Zaiyuan to respond like this, it was obvious that he was moved to accept Zhu Xiaojiao as an apprentice, Su Le was really surprised and delighted, he hurriedly glanced at Zhu Xiaojiao, as long as Zhu Xiaojiao knelt down and kowtowed, this matter was a certainty, and this female disciple was settled.

But Zhu Xiaojiao didn't seem to fully understand what Man Zaiyuan meant, nor did she understand what Su Le's eyes represented, she said modestly: "Master Man, my junior brother is very talented, although he started late, but his progress in cooking skills is very fast, you can accept him as an apprentice." ”

Su Le really couldn't laugh or cry, my stupid senior sister, how could such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity be missed like this? Do you want to give it to yourself?

Seeing that Zhu Xiaojiao was so innocent and scheming, Man Zaiyuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he patted Su Le's shoulder and said: "Smart is smart, but it's a pity that there are too many distracting thoughts in my heart, even if Peng Keng's ancestor is resurrected, he can't train a person full of distractions to become a generation of grandmasters." ”

Su Le didn't want Senior Sister to miss this opportunity in vain, seeing that Man Zaiyuan was leaving, he directly picked out the words in a hurry: "Senior Sister, don't you hurry up and kowtow to Master Man, Master Man has never confiscated a female disciple, you are really lucky, it is rare that Master Man likes you so much." ”

Man Zaiyuan did have the intention of accepting apprentices just now, but seeing that Zhu Xiaojiao had no intention of this, he also retreated, master and apprentice are to pay attention to fate, and they must be wishful thinking, looking at the culinary world and wanting to worship his disciples, Zhu Xiaojiao is not the only one who has extraordinary talents, why force people if they don't want to. Hearing Su Le say this, Man Zaiyuan was really a little crying and laughing, as if he was begging someone else to be his apprentice, why did I do this?

Even if Zhu Xiaojiao was no longer wooden, she understood at this time, and seeing that Su Le kept glancing at herself, she finally stopped hesitating, and knelt down in front of Man Zaiyuan with a plop. Her physique, no matter what she did, was earth-shattering, and she almost broke the floor tiles on her knees with a thud.

Man Zaiyuan said: "Child, you hurry up!" ”

Su Le said on the side: "Senior sister, hurry up and kowtow to Master Man!" ”

Zhu Xiaojiao knocked her head three times in a row, but she didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Man Jae-won smiled: "What are you kowtowing to me for?" ”

Zhu Xiaojiao replied truthfully: "Senior brother let me knock it!" ”

Su Le kept bending his thumb to instruct Zhu Xiaojiao to kowtow, but when he heard her say this, he was so frightened that he quickly hid his hand behind his back.

Man Zaiyuan smiled: "It turned out that Su Le asked you to worship me as a teacher, and you didn't want to do it at all, didn't you?" ”

Zhu Xiaojiao shook her head vigorously.

Su Le's face changed, my silly senior sister, you don't know what a good opportunity you missed.

Man Zaiyuan's expression also looked a little embarrassed, with his status and reputation in the culinary world, it was the first time he had encountered this situation, Zhu Xiaojiao didn't want to worship him as a teacher?

Zhu Xiaojiao said: "I want to! It's just that I don't want you to be embarrassed, and besides, I'm afraid that if I become your apprentice, I will dishonor you! ”

When Man Zaiyuan heard Zhu Xiaojiao's words, his heart didn't feel warm, he pursed his lips vigorously, and stretched out his hands to support Zhu Xiaojiao's arms: "Get up, kid, don't say anything else, just for your simplicity and honesty, I will accept you apprentice!" ”

"Master!"

Su Le smiled happily, even happier than Man Zaiyuan accepting him as an apprentice. A few people came outside, Gao Dakuan and Man Xiangrui were chatting, they were overjoyed to hear this, and hurriedly put on the incense case, the chef is a profession, the concept of master and apprentice is very heavy, and it is by no means a casual apprentice, especially the great master of the level of Man Zaiyuan accepts apprentices, and it is a major event that shakes the entire culinary world.

Although it was only a sudden idea for Man Zaiyuan to accept Zhu Xiaojiao as an apprentice, the necessary rituals were still sloppy, and he gave incense to the ancestor Peng Keng, and then officially bowed to the entrance, Man Zaiyuan drank the tea that Zhu Xiaojiao gave to himself, and gave her a copy of "Full House Food" compiled by himself.

The reason why Su Le tried his best to promote Zhu Xiaojiao to worship Manzaiyuan as a teacher, is also a plan, since he saw Long Tingbi, the bright future of this cooking competition has been clouded, Long Tingbi returned to China after more than ten years, and sent his goddaughter Long Ying to compete, it is definitely not good to come, although Su Le Tong guò all parties are related to investigate Long Ying's cooking level, but because Long Ying has never participated in any kind of cooking competition, so there is no way to understand her true level, It is only in the course of the competition that she can have a comprehensive evaluation.

Su Le is a little confident in his senior sister's level, but he is not sure whether Zhu Xiaojiao can win the championship, his original plan was to use Zhu Xiaojiao to restrain Long Ying, but the level of the players in the competition is on the one hand, and the instructor behind it is also a very important determining factor, Long Tingbi is equivalent to Long Ying's coach, although Zhu Xiaojiao has first-class cooking skills, but he lacks a smart instructor, Su Le thinks about it, only Man Zaiyuan is the most suitable, he just came to Man Zaiyuan to discuss this matter with him, Unexpectedly, Man Zaiyuan himself also admired Zhu Xiaojiao, so this matter was resolved logically, and everyone was happy.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, everyone dispersed, and Su Le came to Man Zaiyuan's side with a smile: "Uncle Man, congratulations on receiving a high apprentice!" ”

Although Man Zaiyuan has not been in contact with Su Le for a long time, he already has a deep understanding of this kid's shrewd mind, and he smiled indifferently: "Your kid is satisfied now." ”

Su Le pretended to be confused and said, "I don't understand Uncle Man's words. ”

Man Zaiyuan said: "You are really a slippery head, you are in such a hurry to promote this matter, what is the idea, do you think I don't know?" ”

Su Le smiled unconsciously and said, "Uncle Man is an understanding person, how can I hide my little Taoism from your discernment." ”

"Don't be a sycophant, tell the truth."

Su Le said: "Uncle Man, Long Tingbi is here to smash the scene this time, his Japanese adopted daughter keeps saying that she wants to defeat all our Chinese chefs, and to prove that Japanese cuisine is better than Chinese cuisine, this matter is no longer just a competition, it is about to rise to national hatred." ”

Man Zaiyuan smiled: "Alarmist, exaggerated, things don't seem to be as exaggerated as you say, right?" ”

Su Le said: "Maybe I'm exaggerating, but think about it, if you really let that Japanese girl win the championship, don't say that I, the organizer of the competition, have a dull face, and even our entire Chinese cooking industry will lose its face, you are the honorary chairman of this competition." ”

Man Zai Yuan Yan didn't understand what this kid meant, he obviously kidnapped himself, but Man Zai Yuan also had to admit that in this situation, he was already firmly tied together by him.

Su Le said: "If it's just about cooking, in fact, it doesn't matter who wins the championship, the most annoying thing is that when they officially compete, they are called Chiba Yukiko, not Long Ying, for fear that others won't know that she is Japanese, which is unbearable." ”

Man Zaiyuan said slowly: "Xiaojiao's basic skills are solid and excellent, and the pastries she makes are also first-class, in fact, the cooking has reached a certain level, and there is nothing to break through in terms of skills, and it is here that really needs to be broken through!" Man Jae-won pointed to his head.

Su Le said: "From your point of view, what is my senior sister's chance of defeating Long Ying?" ”

Man Jae-won smiled: "The situation in the game is changing, who can know what the final result will be until the end?" I would like to see what new tricks Long Tingbi has realized in the more than ten years since he left China. ”
